We may or may not have done a poll on this a while ago but an article sent by my most faithful correspondent inspires a new survey. Read the article first if you like and then tell us what you most like to put on your own hot dogs. If different condiments for different places or different circumstances, feel free to list your multiple options.

In a good deli, on my first hot dog nothing but mustard. Not regular mustard and certainly not Dijon mustard but the special Deli Mustard that is offered. On the second hot dog (invariable) mustard and sauerkraut.

In New York City at a Sabrett or other street cart - the works – first mustard, on that a bit of mayonnaise, on that chili sauce and on that as many hot fried and then sautéed onions that will fit on the roll. And sometimes, when I get to the middle of the dog and the toppings are gone to ask for second helpings.

At most Israeli places – mustard, chili sauce and mayonnaise and, if available a chunky hot-pepper sauce. At Shaul Evron's Yo'ezer Wine Bar in Jaffa and at Hess in Jerusalem, mustard only.

In Atlanta and in New Orleans at street carts, mustard and fried onions (lots and lots of fried onions)

In Quebec city hot mustard, mayonnaise and chili sauce.

Throughout France – depending on how the sauerkraut smells, either just mustard or mustard topped with sauerkraut.

Oh yes - years ago when I took my daughter to a baseball game (a double-header no less), hot dogs with lots and lots of mustard and sauerkraut.

In those place, wherever in the world, they offer chile, first a dab of mustard and that piled high with the chile.

I'm probably very "pedestrian" when it comes to hot dog stylings. I just enjoy old-fashioned yellow mustard and maybe some diced onions. The less "fancy" the better for hot dogs, in my humble opinion.

As a matter of fact, I'll be the first to throw myself into open ridicule (don't ask me why I volunteer to do such things) and admit I've even put ketchup on a hot dog! I just really like those three "ballpark classics" when it comes to condiments.

In a Jewish Deli - Dr Brown's Cel Ray Tonic or if not available (forgive me lord, Coke)At Nathan's in Coney Island - draught beerAt street-side stands in the USA - No beverageAt kiosks in France and Germany- whatever beer is being offered at the kiosk, straight from the bottleAt brasseries in France - draught beerAt home - depends on which beer most beckons at the moment
